If we can't run it effectively, then we are hosed on the passing as well. The running IS the key to our offense period. Roaf is a big part of that.

I don't agree about not being to pass if we can't run. There are quite a few games in recent history where our running game has got basically shut down, and we have gone out and passed for 300+ yards and 30+ points.

Against a team like the Jets or Philadelphia having no Roaf would really hurt because they both have very good pass rushes. Against a team like the Raiders, who has practically no pass rush, we should be fine with Sampson and Black. We might end up playing mostly two TE formations with Dunn helping out our tackles, but Gonzo, Kennison, Parker, and company could still carve up their secondary.
